What about the nuts on the set screws? Are the nuts tight against the body of the mill too?
Now, I do know others have stated their mill binds if the set screws are too tight. Can't win...
Has anyone else had this problem as well? The set screws are tight but it still opens up as you mill grains.
Just dealt with this last Friday. Screwed up previous mashes when I failed to detect the loosened settings in time. My fix was to carefully tighten the set screws with pliers. Maybe 1 to 1.5 full turns did the trick.
The 'so called' set screws they send with those are low grade butter bolts. Get a proper set of hardened hex socket set screws 5/8" or 3/4" long. Use a tiny dab of mineral oil on the threads. Problem solved.

Might Ballistol oil work for this application? I think I’ve read it’s similar. I know it easily emulsifies and I have plenty of it.
